133 FC Fadama wins the Youth Peaceful Elections Soccer Gala

The much-anticipated Youth Peaceful Elections Unity Soccer Gala kicked off with a mission to unite communities and promote peace ahead of Ghana’s upcoming elections.

133 Fc Fadama were crowned champions  after defeating Sabon Zongo, 3-2 on penalties in the final of the Youth Peaceful Elections Unity Soccer Gala ended in a goalless draw. 

 The tense match saw both teams battle it out, going tie 1-1 in regular time, leading to the decisive penalty shootout where Fadama 133 came out on top.

In the third-place playoff, Newtown 11 secured a 2-1 win on penalties against 441 from Nima after their match ended 1-1 in normal time. Both teams put on a spectacular performance, with Newtown eventually clinching third place.

The event, themed “Football for Unity, Football for Peace,” saw 16 teams from various communities come together to promote peaceful elections ahead of the December polls in Ghana, with a grand prize of GH₵10,000 at stake.

 However, the winners, Fadama 133, took home a total of GH₵15,000 after award-winning dancehall musician Livingstone Etse Satekla known as Stonebwoy donated GH₵10,000 to the top three teams, with Sabon Zongo receiving GH₵3,000 while third place Newtown received GH₵2,000 from the donated total amount.

Several prominent figures graced the event, including Serki Hakeem Musah, the Madina Nkosouhene, and Asa Awel Abdel Aziz Fadama, the Kajanga Youth Chief.

Speaking after the tournament, Organizer Awalu Angulu expressed satisfaction with the event’s success, stating that its mission had been accomplished. He highlighted that many young talents had been discovered by scouts who attended the matches, offering promising opportunities for the players. Angulu also emphasized the importance of promoting peace, urging the youth in Zongo communities to foster harmony as the elections approach.

 With the slogan “One Goal, One Vote, One Ghana,” the Youth Peaceful Elections Unity Soccer Gala resonated beyond football, serving as a reminder that unity and peace are crucial for the future of the nation.
